WATCH: Tim Tebow in the gym, still working toward NFL comeback

Earlier this summer, former Broncos quarterback and Heisman winner Tim Tebow told The Tennessean that he was working toward an NFL comeback.

“I’m training every day and feel like I’m the best that I’ve ever been,” Tebow told the paper in June. “I still love it, love playing, talking about it, and I’m just excited about whatever the future holds. Who knows what could happen? But I’m excited about it, though.”

Turns out, he wasn’t joking. Not even a little.

Tebow has been been making regular trips to Scottsdale, Ariz., this summer to work out with trainer Ian Danney at Performance Enhancement Professionals, getting in reps in the gym and playing “Danneyball,” a version of beach volleyball created by Danney that uses a medicine ball. To work on his throwing, Tebow said he has also been making trips to Los Angeles to work with Tom House, a former MLB pitcher who has helped other NFL quarterbacks, including Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Carson Palmer.

“I feel great,” Tebow told Fox 10 Phoenix, which obtained exclusive footage of his workouts in Arizona. “I feel the strongest, healthiest, throwing the best I ever have. I’m just really excited about the improvement.”

Tebow, who was drafted by the Broncos in 2010 but played in only 17 games before Denver brought in Peyton Manning, signed on with the soon-to-launch SEC Network to serve as a host on “SEC Nation.” In recent months, though, he’s made it clear that his long-term goal reside on the field, not in the studio.

“One of my favorite quotes is, ‘I don’t know what my future holds, but I know who holds my future,'” Tebow told Fox 10. “And that gives you peace to just continue to work and to go after what your heart desires. And when you do that, I think you don’t have any regrets. I think that’s the best way to live life.”

I like Tebow the person but not the QB.
Aaaand the same thing is true for all 32 NFL teams.

There comes a time when ..
gee IDK… maybe God is trying to tell him…
there’s other things to do?

…or, heykylesf, God may be trying to teach Tim, and us, that hard work and dedication can, and often does, payoff when things look their darkest.

At least you guys have Brock O to fall back on and his proven leadership skills!

Yay Elway!!!

Thomas Bell

No, actually we have five time MVP Peyton Manning to lean on, and his proven leadership and football skills. Yeah, Elway!

Funny, you don’t see any throws… I have no doubt Tim will be a very successful Medicine Volleyball player! Go Timeh!

John E Webb

God love him – I have a passion for a sport I will NEVER be a expert at but the pursuit of the dream is what life is all about – his spirit is right up there with John & Payton but his skills are not – I love following his journey through life.

How can he still think he can play in the NFL as a quarterback..He is a running back that sadly Cannot throw very well..And he’s left handed..Maybe he is Pat Robertson’s relative..Ya know Hillbilly Delusion..

“Hillbilly Delusion.”
That’s funny.

Juan Leg

Why would DP find it the least bit funny or necessary to further continue the EMBARRASSMENT, otherwise known as Tebow, or the Denver Broncos 2010, 1st rnd draft. Additionally know to others as the Josh McDaniels ‘sabotage’…

Juan, not sure what planet you’re living on but the Denver Broncos had been an embarrassment in the NFL for like 6 years, losing more games than they were winning, not being playoff contenders, and their 2011 season was headed in the same direction until game #6 when Tim Tebow helped turn that all around. Suddenly, the Broncos were winning again and playoff bound. Tebow helped lead them to within 2 games of a Super Bowl. You can thank Tim Tebow for helping to put the Denver Broncos back on the map and make them a team Peyton Manning would even look twice at.

Juan Leg

You’re telling me you wish we still had Tebow and Manning had NEVER come into the pic…?

Elotro Martinez

Well it’s a good thing that Tim Tebow thinks he’s going to make a “comeback” into the NFL. He was cut by Denver, by New York. by New England. Get the message? Yeah, Tebow ain’t “Tough Enough” for the NFL.
His Christianity is wearing thin.

Uhh it’s long been established that Tebow’s physique isn’t the problem. Shouldn’t he be working with a passing coach instead of bulking up at the gym?

If you watched the video, you would’ve heard that he stops here on his way back and forth to his QB coaches in LA.
